Prevent Drinking and Driving
In order to prevent drinking and driving, individuals must act responsibly to ensure the safety of all parties involved.
The most apparent choice for one to make would be to not drink at all. Most social situations include alcohol though and even most restaurants offer alcohol as a beverage. Refraining from drinking all together would not be the most acceptable choice by most adults.
If one is to drink, one option would be to have a designated driver. This would be a person who is designated beforehand as the one who will not be drinking alcohol and will be responsible for transporting the rest of the group safely home.
Most cities offer paid transportation as well. It may come in the form of a taxi, subway or bus. A bus or subway may be an adequate choice for someone who is not overly intoxicated, but still possesses the wherewithal to get from one location to another by walking. A taxi would be more costly, but would guarantee a safe arrival home.
It is more commonplace to entertain from one’s home today. If this would be the case, the hostess should take care to plan for alternative transportation for those who may be too intoxicated to drive and offer to let the guest remain overnight if needed.
If an individual is drinking alone and is unsure as to what his or her blood alcohol level is, then a personal breathalyzer can be a lifesaver. A breathalyzer can come in the form of an inexpensive disposable unit, or many drinking establishments have coin operated versions, designed for use by multiple individuals. A breathalyzer will measure a person’s blood alcohol content (BAC) and can be another tool in helping the individual determine if they are too drunk to drive.
Although a breathalyzer can measure blood alcohol content it can’t prevent drinking and driving. That is a decision each person will have to make for themselves. Utilizing trusted friends and family, tools such as a breathalyzer and other forms of transportation can all work together to help a person arrive home safely, because that’s what really counts.
